The Road to Framingham (MA)

On June 16, my brother Bob and me left Cleveland on a 9:30 A.M. Jet Blue flight to Boston to visit my sister Patty and her husband Dan SR.  The whole flight experience went smoothly  We were moved into the fast security lane, but it wasn't as great as last year's experience where my cell phone temporarily ended up with my brother.

Jet Blue offers a lot of creative options.  Every seat has Direct TV and Sirius XM Satellite Radio, but headphones cost extra, of course.  In the future, I will bring my own headphones, which was suggested when we were boarding our return flight to Cleveland on June 24th.  Our flights had thirty-six TV channels and about one hundred radio stations available (Some flights have about one hundred TV channels available.).

Unlike most airlines, which offer a bag of peanuts and a variety of beverages, Jet Blue offers various chips and cookies that are interesting.  Bob had Skeeter Nut Free Chocolate Chip Cookies.  I had Pop Corners Kettle Corn Chips.  We both enjoyed Coca-Cola.

After landing in Boston, it took awhile for Baggage Claim to send down our luggage, but once the carousel started, we had our luggage almost immediately.  We then headed to the Logan Express Bus Stop to wait for our bus to Framingham, MA (Logan Express's station was temporarily in Natick, MA a year ago while the station was being replaced.).  I had called Patty's Cell Phone (Dan SR. answered.) to tell them that we were on our way.

The bus trip was uneventful.  Since it was not rush hour, the bus was not crowded, and the traffic was not heavy.  The trip took about half an hour.  As we were heading into the station, Bob saw Patty and Dan SR.'s car.  We paid for our ride as we vacated the bus.  Each one of us paid $12 CASH. 
We then met up with Patty and Dan SR.

We were on our way to Smashburger in nearby Natick, MA.  The story will continue from there next time.  The fun is about to begin!!

Yes, Kathleen, there is an active blog!!
